Carlo Tramonti is a fictional character in the novels The Godfather and The Godfather's Revenge. In the universe of the novels, he is the Don of the Tramonti crime family (inspired of New Orleans crime family) from 1931 to 1964.
Character overview[edit]
Tramonti emigrates from Sicily as a young boy and settles in Florida. He exterminates rivals who were backed by police and takes over their gambling operations. He then opens ties with Cuba and Batista, supplying the dictator with illegal casinos and whorehouses.
By the 1950s, he owns a very luxurious Miami beach hotel. He also owns every business in New Orleans. He gets his nickname, "The Whale," by swallowing up every business that came his way. He is also a reputed womanizer and has many children out of wedlock. Over time, he and his brother, Agostino, establish the Tramonti family as a force to be reckoned with.
Tramonti is a minor character in Mario Puzo's original novel, but his actions in Mark Winegardner's 2006 sequel are of great significance to the plot. This novel explains that, in 1963, Tramonti is arrested by Immigrant agents at the behest of Attorney General Danny Shea. Angered by the embarrassment, he plans to kill President James Shea, the Attorney General's brother. In 1964, he sends hitman Juan Carlos Santiago to assassinate President Shea, and pins the murder on the novel's main antagonist, Nick Geraci. The novel's epilogue explains that, in 1968, he is called to an investigation committee about the president's assassination. Before he can testify, however, he is shot twice in the head in his car and stabbed with a meat cleaver.
Tramonti is largely based on Carlos Marcello and Tampa mob boss Santo Trafficante, Jr..

In the Godfather universe[edit]
Novel and first two films[edit]
Tommasino is an old friend of Vito Corleone from Vito's native village of Corleone, Sicily. By the 1920s, he has become a top-ranking soldier in the local Mafia family, headed by Don Ciccio. As Vito's Genco Olive Oil Company—the front for his criminal empire—expands its operations, he cut a deal in which he would distribute Tommasino's olive oil in the United States.
When Vito returns to Sicily to kill Don Ciccio and avenge the murders of his family, Tommasino assists him in his scheme. They go to Ciccio's home, ostensibly to get his blessing for their venture. Vito succeeds in killing Ciccio, but in the midst of their escape, Tommasino is hit by a blast from a lupara shotgun fired by one of Ciccio's bodyguards. He is shown sitting in a wheelchair as Vito and his family leave by train. Tommasino succeeds Ciccio as the local Mafia chieftain of Corleone, and remains one of the Corleone family's strongest allies for almost half a century.
When Vito's son Michael Corleone murders drug lord Virgil Sollozzo and corrupt NYPD captain McCluskey in 1946, he is immediately dispatched to Sicily and placed under Tommasino's care; Tommasino ensures that Michael is kept safe from both the police and the Corleone family's enemies. By this time, Tommasino is able to pull himself upright while leaning on the door of his car. Shortly after the death of Michael's older brother, Sonny, Tommasino gets word that the rival Barzini family now knows Michael is hiding in Corleone and is after him. Tommasino has Michael move to a villa in Syracuse, on the other side of the island. However, one of Michael's bodyguards, Fabrizio, is bought off by the Barzinis and attempts to assassinate Michael with a car bomb, killing Michael's new wife, Apollonia, instead. After this, Tommasino and Vito decide that Sicily has become too dangerous for Michael, and begin the process of moving him back to the United States.
The Godfather Part III[edit]
In 1980, Michael returns to Sicily to seek the elderly Tommasino's advice about making contacts in the Vatican, in order to aid in his takeover of the Italian conglomerate Immobiliare. By this time, Tommasino is so frail he has to be lifted to and from chairs and car seats.
However, that same year, Tommasino is assassinated by the hitman Mosca, who had been hired by Don Altobello and Licio Lucchesi to kill Michael. Mosca has disguised himself as a Roman Catholic priest and is walking down the road with an associate of his who is dressed similarly. Tommasino pulls up in his car and offers Mosca a ride, but instantly recognizes him for who he is. His cover blown, Mosca threatens to kill Tommasino if he does not help to kill Michael Corleone. When Tommasino refuses, Mosca shoots him dead with a lupara hidden in his robe.
Portrayals[edit]
Three different actors have played Tommasino in the three feature films. In The Godfather, as a middle-aged man, he was portrayed by Corrado Gaipa. Tommasino was portrayed as partially paralyzed because Gaipa was confined to a wheelchair in real life. In The Godfather Part II, a much younger Tommasino was portrayed by Mario Cotone. In The Godfather Part III, as an elderly man, he was portrayed by Vittorio Duse.

Salvatore "Sal" Tessio is a fictional character in Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather and the film based on it. In the film, Tessio was portrayed by Abe Vigoda.[1] In the sequel, Vigoda reprised the role in a flashback, set in late 1941, at the end of the film. Actor John Aprea portrayed the younger Tessio in The Godfather Part II.[2] Tessio's given name is not mentioned in the original novel.

In the novel and film[edit]
Tessio starts out with his friends Peter Clemenza and Vito Corleone as low-level hoodlums in New York City's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood. As Corleone rises to prominence in the Mafia underworld, he makes Tessio and Clemenza his main caporegimes. Tessio owns the Embassy Club in Brooklyn and makes it his base of operations. From there, he manages his Mafia soldiers and is very well-connected throughout the borough. Most federal investigators consider Tessio the smarter, savvier and more ruthless of the two capos. However, according to the book, he mellows considerably over the decade of peace between New York's Mafia families.
He is the more trusted of the two capos during the war with the Five Families and is issued the task of assassinating Bruno Tattaglia. In the original novel, he never really trusts Michael Corleone after he takes over the family, and is frustrated that Michael won't allow him to take vengeance against Emilio Barzini when his family starts chipping away at his balliwick in Brooklyn. He does, however, think more of the young Don than do Clemenza and Tom Hagen. Ultimately, Tessio arranges for Michael's assassination at a peace summit set up by Barzini and Philip Tattaglia. In return, Tessio would inherit the Corleone family upon Michael's death.
At Vito's funeral, Tessio tells Michael that he set up the peace summit, to be held on his territory in Brooklyn. However, Michael had anticipated the plot by way of a warning from his father, who intimated that the person who approached him about the peace summit would be the family traitor. Tessio's betrayal comes as a surprise to Hagen, who thought Clemenza would betray Michael. However, Michael is not surprised, saying, "It's the smart move; Tessio was always smarter."
A few days later, Tessio is ready to head for Brooklyn with Hagen when Willi Cicci tells him that Michael is going in a separate car. Tessio is frustrated, saying that this interferes with his "arrangements." At that point, Hagen tells Tessio he cannot go either, and several button men surround Tessio. Realizing that Michael has found him out, Tessio asks Hagen to tell Michael that his betrayal was not personal, but simply business; Hagen replies that Michael understands that. Tessio also asks Hagen if he could get him off the hook, "for old time's sake," but Hagen refuses. He is then taken away to be killed.
In sequel novels[edit]
The original novel implies Tessio's death, but Mark Winegardner's sequel novel The Godfather Returns explains that he is executed with a gunshot at point blank range by his enforcer Nick Geraci. In this novel, Geraci is chosen and intended to succeed him as capo, but in the original novel, Al Neri takes over the old Tessio regime.
In Godfather: The Game[edit]
In the video game adaptation, Tessio is the main hit contractor for the first half of the game's story. Later, after he is confronted by Tom Hagen and Cicci, Tessio is escorted to the place where he was to betray Michael by the game's protagonist, Aldo Trapani. He subsequently flees, but is hunted down and shot by Trapani. In the game, Tessio's death takes place before the baptism executions, unlike in the film.

Frank "Frankie Five Angels" Pentangeli is a fictional character and a main antagonist from the film The Godfather Part II. In the film, he was portrayed by Michael V. Gazzo, who was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance, which he lost to Robert De Niro, his co-star from the same film (as young Vito Corleone). He gets his nickname from his last name, which is Greco-Italian for five angels.
Character overview[edit]
Born as "Francesco Pentangeli" in Partinico, Sicily, Pentangeli has an older brother named Vincenzo who remains in the country. Frank is the caporegime in the Corleone family, running the family's operations in New York City while Michael (Al Pacino) and his brother and underboss, Fredo (John Cazale), are based in Nevada. He was a top soldier in the regime of Peter Clemenza (Richard S. Castellano), and took over the regime after Clemenza's death. He also moved into Vito's former estate in Long Beach, Long Island. His bodyguard is longtime soldier Willi Cicci.
In The Godfather, Part II, Frank Pentangeli is portrayed as a very old associate and family friend who has been with the family since the early days of the Corleone olive oil business. Pentangeli's character was conceived in The Godfather, Part II by Coppola and Puzo when actor Richard Castellano did not reprise his role as Clemenza in the sequel. The Pentangeli character took the part in the plot which was originally intended for Clemenza.
In the film[edit]
Near the beginning of the story, Pentangeli approaches Michael to ask for his help in eliminating the Rosato brothers, rivals in New York, who claimed to have been promised territories by Clemenza prior to his death. Michael refuses, however, and orders Pentangeli to do nothing, as he does not want a war to interfere with an upcoming deal with Hyman Roth (Lee Strasberg), who supports the Rosatos. Pentangeli takes this as an insult and leaves in anger. Later that night, Michael narrowly escapes an assassination attempt at his home.
Michael concludes on his own that Roth was behind the assassination attempt. While on his way to Florida to seal the deal with Roth, he pays an unannounced visit to Pentangeli and asks him to help take his revenge. As part of his plan, Michael insists that Pentangeli capitulate to the Rosato brothers so that Roth will not suspect that Michael is on to him. Pentangeli, preferring open warfare against Roth and the Rosatos, is again very aggravated by Michael's demand that Pentangeli give in to them. However, he reluctantly obeys Michael's order.
Back in New York, Pentangeli arranges a meeting with the Rosato brothers. At the meeting, Tony Rosato (Danny Aiello) ambushes Pentangeli with a garotte, telling him, "Michael Corleone says hello." A policeman passes by and the attack degenerates into a shootout in the street. Pentangeli disappears and is believed to be dead.
Later, at a Senate hearing investigating organized crime and allegations of Michael's criminal activities, Pentangeli is prepared to testify before the Senate, the committee intending to present Pentangeli as a surprise witness to provide the bases for perjury charges against Michael. Both Pentangeli and Cicci have been in the protective custody of the FBI since the apparent attempt upon his life. Believing that Michael ordered him murdered, Pentangeli provides a sworn statement to investigators that Michael is the head of the most powerful Mafia family in the nation, controls virtually all gambling activity in North America, and has ordered countless murders.
Most damningly, Pentangeli tells investigators that Michael personally killed Captain McCluskey (Sterling Hayden) and Virgil Sollozzo (Al Lettieri), and also began planning his mass slaughter of New York's other Mafia bosses as early as 1950. Cicci told all this to investigators, but because of "buffers" in the organization Cicci never received orders directly from Michael and therefore is unable to directly implicate Michael in criminal activity. Despite this, Pentangeli is prepared to testify before the Senate. And since he was a capo there is no insulation between Michael and himself. The Senate subcommittee and the FBI thus consider Pentangeli very credible, and are certain that he can corroborate Cicci's testimony and charge Michael with perjury.
While the Committee is in recess Michael and others look for a way to avoid the perjury charges. Meeting with Fredo at the Lake Tahoe estate Fredo informs Michael that the hearing was engineered by Roth as part of his plan to eliminate Michael from the scene; plus, the committee's lawyer is on Roth's payroll.
Michael knows that Pentangeli's protective custody is too secure to make an attempt on his life before he testifies. Instead, Michael flies Pentangeli's brother, Vincenzo, in from Sicily, and Vincenzo accompanies Michael to the hearing at which Frank is scheduled to testify. Vincenzo and Frank exchange a silent glance before the hearing. Understanding the threat to his family's honor in testifying to s, Frank recants his earlier statements and now claims that the Corleone family is innocent of any wrongdoing, thus perjuring himself before the Senate committee and subjecting himself to over 400 years in federal prison. This testimony catches the Senators completely off-guard and effectively derails the government's case against Michael.
After the hearing, consigliere Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) visits Frank in custody. Hagen tells Frank that he did the right thing by recanting. Tom tells a story implying that the correct thing to do now is for Frank to kill himself. Hagen tells Pentangeli if he accepts responsibility for turning on the Corleone family and kills himself Frank's family will always be taken care of. He thanks Hagen, returns to his room, and commits suicide by slitting his wrists while taking a bath.
The finished film leaves unclear exactly what about his brother's presence motivated Frank to change his story. The final film only states that Vincenzo is a powerful and ruthless Mafia chieftain in Sicily.[1]
An early draft of the film's script explains that Vincenzo, shocked that Frankie is about to break his blood oath and betray the Corleones to government authorities, attends the hearing to remind Frankie that he must not break the Mafia's code of silence, omertà. His brother's presence, as well as the stare they exchanged, serves as a threat that if Frankie follows through with his planned testimony, retribution will be taken against his children, who are living in Sicily under Vincenzo's guardianship.[2]

This article does not cite any references or sources. (March 2007)
This article describes a work or element of fiction in a primarily in-universe style. (October 2009)
Thomas 'Tommy' Neri is a fictional character in the novels The Godfather, The Godfather Returns, and The Godfather's Revenge.
In the novels[edit]
The original novel explains Tommy Neri's backstory. He was born to Rita Neri and an unnamed father in an apartment in the Bronx. He grew up in the same neighborhood as Peter Clemenza. He was also frequently beat by his uncle, Al Neri, for his disrespect toward his mother. He never accepted that his uncle was a cop, and became a criminal just to spite him. He also wanted his 'button' but was told to wait until the right time.
In 1955, he became a 'made man' in the Corleone family under Michael Corleone at a hotel/casino ballroom owned by the family, with others. He was placed in the regime of Rocco Lampone and served him faithfully. The later novels explain he also becomes a heroin addict around this time. He is placed in Ritchie Nobilio's regime after Rocco Lampone is killed in 1959.
In The Godfather Returns, he is placed in charge of finding Nick Geraci. He makes no significant progress with finding Geraci, although he does look in Cleveland and gets tips from the C.I.A. He and his uncle Al torture and kill Nick Geraci's father.

In the novel[edit]
In the novel The Godfather, Neri begins his career as a New York City patrolman, where he earns a reputation for a fierce temper, quick reflexes, and tremendous physical strength. He frequently patrols with a large flashlight, which he uses to great effect, either cracking the foreheads of Italian youths who run with gangs or shattering the windshields of diplomats who show no regard for traffic or parking laws. After his wife leaves him in fear of his temper, he kills a drug dealer and pimp by shattering his skull with the flashlight, and is convicted of manslaughter.
Tom Hagen and Peter Clemenza see in him a potential replacement for Luca Brasi, Vito Corleone's feared enforcer, and arrange for his release from prison. Normally, policemen are barred from becoming made men, but they were impressed enough by him to recommend that Michael intercede for him. Michael, appealing to Neri's sense of loyalty and Sicilian-American roots, recruits him into Clemenza's regime. Clemenza is initially impressed by the ferocity that Neri displayed in their first meeting. Neri later "made his bones" and became Michael's chief lieutenant by personally murdering Moe Greene and Emilio Barzini on Michael's behalf. Neri carries out the latter murder while disguised in his old police uniform. After Salvatore Tessio is killed for attempting to betray Michael, Neri takes over as caporegime of Tessio's former crew. When Michael and his family move to Nevada, Neri becomes head of security for all hotels controlled by the Corleones.
In the film series[edit]
In the film version of The Godfather, Neri's story prior to becoming a made man is not mentioned. He does not say a word in the first film and following Michael's return from exile in Sicily, Neri becomes his bodyguard, accompanying him everywhere. In the famous "baptism sequence," Neri (disguised in his old police officer's uniform) guns down Barzini and his bodyguards on the steps of a courthouse, much as he does in the novel. However, the murder of Greene, which occurs simultaneously, is handled by another, anonymous gunman.
In The Godfather Part II, Neri is seen to be Michael's unofficial second-in-command in his operations in Nevada, and is one of Michael's capos along with Rocco Lampone and Frank Pentangeli. In a deleted scene, Neri is shown "convincing" Meyer Klingman, a hotel owner, that he must give up (or that he has already given up) his interest in the hotel in favor of the Corleone Family. When Klingman protests, Neri slaps him in the face and pursues him through the casino's showroom, while casino security guards (now under Corleone control as well) do nothing. Neri is identified as a capo on an organization chart of the Corleone family created for the government. Neri also carries out the murder of Michael's brother Fredo, under Michael's orders. While out fishing together on Lake Tahoe, Neri shoots Fredo in the back of the head.
By the time of The Godfather Part III, with Michael's decision to "go legitimate" by selling off his casino interests and handing over control of his rackets to former subordinate Joey Zasa, Neri continues to serve as his bodyguard. He is the only holdover from Michael's criminal operations who is still close to Michael. When Zasa betrays Michael and attempts to have him murdered at a meeting of the Commission in Atlantic City, it is Neri who saves Michael from an assault that kills all the other bosses still in attendance, and later helps Michael's nephew, Vincent Mancini, to plan Zasa's murder. When Michael transfers control of the family to Vincent, telling him to call himself "Vincent Corleone," Neri is the second to pledge his loyalty, after Calò, the former bodyguard of Don Tommasino. In the closing scenes of the film, Vincent calls upon Neri's skills one last time, sending him to infiltrate Vatican City, where he guns down the corrupt Archbishop Gilday and tosses his body down a spiral staircase.
In other media[edit]
In Mark Winegardner's novel The Godfather's Revenge, Neri and his nephew take part in an attempt to obtain information from Nick Geraci's father. He is seriously wounded in the final shootout at the end of the novel.
In The Godfather: The Game, Neri is voiced by Gary Chalk.

Salvatore 'Laughing Sal' Narducci is a fictional character in Mark Winegardner's novel The Godfather Returns.
Biographical summary[edit]
Salvatore Narducci was born in Cleveland, Ohio and is childhood best friend of future mob boss Vincent Forlenza. As an adult, he runs half of the gambling rackets in Cleveland. By 1931, he and Forlenza have killed off the competition and become the most powerful gambling syndicate in the U.S.. By the 1940s, he is feared for his temper; he is known to stab people in the back (literally and figuratively).
By the early 1950s, Narducci is growing suspicious of Forlenza and starts plotting against him. In 1955, he orders a satchel containing a bomb delivered to a plane carrying Nick Geraci, Frankie Falcone, and Tony Molinari. Falcone and Molinari are killed in the explosion, but Geraci survives. Narducci visits him in a private hospital and tells him that Forlenza was behind it.
In 1956, Geraci finds out that Narduci is a spy for Michael Corleone, and goes to Forlenza. Geraci and Forlenza plot to kill him and Hyman Roth, thereby strengthening the Chicago Mob and destroying the Corleones' operation in Cuba.
By 1959, Narducci is lured to a meeting in Sicily and ambushed by Geraci and several others. They hang him from the top of a cave and leave him there.

Fictional character biography[edit]
In the films[edit]
Lampone is an associate of Peter Clemenza. When Clemenza is assigned to kill the treacherous Paulie Gatto in The Godfather, he decides to give Lampone a chance to "make his bones." Clemenza and Lampone drive Gatto to a remote spot near New York, making him think they're scouting out places to live in case Sonny orders them to "go to the mattresses." When Clemenza says he needs to urinate and gets out of the car after Paulie has pulled it over, Lampone kills Gatto with three bullets to the head.
Lampone rises quickly in the Corleone family. After Michael Corleone takes over the family, he makes Lampone a caporegime. On the advice of Vito Corleone, Michael puts together a secret regime for Lampone, but makes sure that it is eventually discovered by Tom Hagen. Later in the film, Lampone and another unnamed associate kill Philip Tattaglia in his bed, and his men play a role in the wave of murders that cements Michael's power.
He subsequently moves to Nevada with the family and arranges security for the Lake Tahoe compound, but is unable to prevent the failed attempt on Michael's life by two mobsters hired by Michael's rival Hyman Roth. When the time comes to take revenge on Roth, Rocco opines that assassinating him would be "difficult, not impossible", and is personally entrusted with the hit. Disguised as a reporter, Rocco successfully approaches Roth at Miami Airport and shoots him, but despite the ensuing panic and confusion, he is in turn shot and killed by FBI agents while fleeing the scene.
In other media[edit]
Rocco appears in Mark Winegardner's sequel novel The Godfather Returns. However, there is a slight discrepancy in the novel, as it states that Lampone is missing a kneecap (as a result of his participation in the North Africa campaign during World War II) and has been using a cane since. This is not directly seen nor mentioned in any of the movies or the original novel[dubious – discuss]. Though Lampone does have a limp in both films, no background is given as to why.
He is briefly mentioned in the next novel in the series, The Godfather's Revenge as the antagonist, Nick Geraci, ponders the fates of many of Michael Corleone's associates.
In the original novel by Mario Puzo, it is revealed that Rocco was used by Clemenza as his point-man in black-market activities at a garment center and with government employees controlling OPA food stamps.
In The Godfather: The Game, he plants the horse head in Jack Woltz's bed while protected by the game's protagonist, Aldo Trapani. The protagonist takes on Lampone's role in the killing of Gatto. Rocco's character is voiced by Michael Dobson.[2]

Carmine Marino is a fictional character who plays a prominent role in the novel The Godfather Returns and in its sequel.
Character history[edit]
Marino came into America in 1956 to be a hostage held by Donnie Bags, Eddie Paradise, and Momo Barone. He plays cards with them in a building being supervised by caporegime Rocco Lampone. He immediately bonds with his captors, and is "made" into their crime family shortly thereafter.
He is trained by Nick Geraci for several years in the swamps of New Jersey, supervised by the Stracci family. His target was the Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro, whom president James Shea personally wants dead. He leaves for Cuba in the summer of 1961, and stays there for another year to become familiar with the place.
In June 1962, female assassins provide him with supplies he needs to kill Castro. He goes up in a tower and fires on Castro from his motorcade, killing him. It turns out, however, that the "Castro" Marino shot was a body double.
Marino disguises himself a woman to escape Cuba, but Cuban authorities capture him before he can escape. They torture him, but he refuses to say who had hired him. Finally in 1963, the CIA kills Marino to keep him from revealing information. The hit is organized by CIA agent Joe Lucadello.

Peter Clemenza is a fictional character appearing in Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather and two of the three films based on it. He is played by Academy Award-nominee Richard Castellano[1][2] in Francis Ford Coppola's film adaptation of the novel, and by Bruno Kirby (as a young man) in The Godfather Part II.

The Godfather[edit]
Born near Trapani, Sicily, Clemenza starts off as one of Don Vito Corleone's caporegimes[3] and oldest friends, as well as the godfather of his eldest son, Sonny. He has a reputation as a superb judge of talent; his crew produced no fewer than five future capos—Sonny, Frank Pentangeli, Rocco Lampone, Al Neri, and Joey Zasa.
He is a supporting character in the story, but a few of his actions are important to the plot. For example, he is ordered by Don Corleone, via consigliere Tom Hagen, to handle the beating of two teenage boys who assaulted the daughter of undertaker Amerigo Bonasera, Mrs. Corleone's god-daughter, and escaped punishment for it. Clemenza then assigns his "button man" Paulie Gatto to the job, who then recruits two former professional boxers turned Corleone Family loan enforcers to assist. (A deleted scene from the film depicts Gatto giving the beating.)
When the family finds out that Gatto helped Virgil Sollozzo and the Tattaglia Family set up Vito to be assassinated, Sonny orders Clemenza to kill him. Clemenza considers Gatto's actions to be a personal insult, having personally groomed him, and is pleased by the prospect of his assassination. According to the novel, Sonny Corleone initially suspects Clemenza of being a part of the conspiracy, but Clemenza is eventually cleared. He decides to use Lampone, then an associate, on the hit to give him a chance to "make his bones." In order to lull Gatto into a false sense of security, Clemenza and Lampone drive around in a car with him for at least two days (backing out of the drive, Clemenza asks Gatto to "mind the kids"—it is not specified whether or not these are Clemenza's children) looking for good sites where Corleone men can hide out on mattresses in the imminent war. After Lampone kills Gatto, Clemenza—who has left the car to relieve himself—utters (to Lampone) his most famous line in the movie: "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli."
When Vito's youngest son, Michael, offers to kill both Sollozzo and Police Captain McCluskey, who is on Sollozzo's payroll, Clemenza teaches him how to use the gun and instructs him on how to act in order to allay Sollozzo's suspicions and what to do after the killing. The plan succeeds, and while Michael hides out in Sicily, Clemenza prepares for an all-out war against the remaining four families. The war ultimately claims Sonny's life, and Vito re-assumes leadership following the assassination. Upon his return to New York, Michael is appointed as operating head of the family, but Clemenza and fellow caporegime Salvatore Tessio, unsatisfied with the way things are going, request that they be given permission to break off from the Corleone family to start their own families in accordance with a promise Vito made several years earlier. Michael accepts, only after their business is over. When Michael is again targeted for assassination by Don Emilio Barzini, who was behind Sonny's murder, Clemenza is initially one of the two primary suspects of being the Corleone family traitor, but it is later revealed to be Tessio, who is killed for his treachery.
Clemenza, on Michael's orders, personally murders both Don Victor Stracci and Carlo Rizzi, Michael's brother-in-law, who conspired with Barzini to kill Sonny. He is last seen in the book greeting Michael as "Don Michael." In the film, he is last seen greeting Michael as "Don Corleone" and kissing Michael's hand.
The Sicilian[edit]
Clemenza appears briefly in Puzo's second Godfather installment, The Sicilian. He meets with Michael during his exile in Sicily, at his brother Domenico Clemenza's home in Trapani. They discuss what the fate of Turi Giuliano is to be, following the orders of a recovering Vito Corleone. Clemenza tells Michael that he should report to him after a week, with or without Giuliano, and that Michael could return to America afterward. Clemenza then leaves on a boat to Tunis, telling Michael that he would be back the following day to bring him back to date with the Don's orders.
The Godfather Returns[edit]
Clemenza's gradual takeover of the Corleone empire in New York is briefly covered in The Godfather Returns, Mark Winegardner's sequel to Puzo's original novel. It also tells of Clemenza's involvement during Michael's return from exile and eventual, official initiation into the Corleone crime family. Most noteworthy, the novel depicts Clemenza's fatal heart attack (mentioned in The Godfather Part II), and the many conspiracy theories that he had actually been murdered by the Rosato Brothers, enemies of the Corleone Family.
The Godfather Part II[edit]
Clemenza does not appear in the present timeline of the film due to a disagreement between Castellano and Paramount Pictures; it is explained that he died some time ago and was replaced by his soldier, Frank Pentangeli, as head of the Corleone family's New York operations. The Pentangeli character was created to play the role intended for Clemenza.
Clemenza, however, appears in several flashbacks focusing on Vito Corleone's early days, played by Bruno Kirby. He first meets Vito when asking him to hide some guns for him from the police. Vito does so, and Clemenza repays the favor by stealing an expensive carpet (assisted by a surprised Vito) and giving it to the Corleones for their apartment. Around the same time, Vito and Clemenza befriend a young Tessio. One of their lines of business is selling stolen dresses door-to-door; a deleted scene depicts Clemenza charming his way into the apartment of a young housewife and emerging a little later having presumably had sex with her; it is not specified in the film whether Clemenza is himself married at the time.
Later on, the trio's partnership is discovered by the local blackhander, Don Fanucci, who attempts to extort them. Clemenza initially demands that they pay Fanucci to avoid any problems with him, but Vito talks him and Tessio into paying him less money. Shortly thereafter, Vito himself kills Fanucci and takes over the neighborhood--the beginnings of the future Corleone family.
Video game version[edit]
The video game title The Godfather: The Game depicts Clemenza as his movie counterpart; Castellano's estate gave permission for his likeness to be used in the game. However, due to Castellano's death in 1988, all of Clemenza's dialogue had to be recorded by Jason Schombing. In the game, he becomes partners and good friends with the protagonist, Aldo Trapani. He gives him several missions, such as killing members of rival families, particularly the Cuneo Family.

Willi Cicci is a fictional character in The Godfather film series, portrayed by Joe Spinell.[1][2]
Appearances[edit]
Cicci is a top enforcer for the Corleone family, working under longtime caporegime Peter Clemenza. He is introduced in The Godfather standing by a piano amid a group of Corleone soldiers who have "gone to mattresses" (in between battles) during the war between the Corleones and the Tattaglias. On the day of Corleone family Don Michael Corleone's nephew's baptism, Cicci assassinates Don Carmine Cuneo in the revolving doors at the St. Regis Hotel. Later, Cicci is one of the enforcers who take traitorous caporegime Sal Tessio away to be killed.
In The Godfather Part II, Cicci remains in New York City, working for Clemenza's successor, Frank Pentangeli. In 1958, when the film's story begins, he travels with Pentangeli to Anthony Corleone's First Communion in Lake Tahoe and expresses his suspicions about Clemenza's death, supposedly of a heart attack. After the party, Cicci is seen with Pentangeli back in New York when the latter is nearly killed by the Rosato brothers. Cicci opens fire on the Rosatos, but he is struck by a car and severely injured.
He recovers, and later joins Pentangeli in testifying against Michael at the Senate hearings on organized crime. His testimony is damning; he states that Michael not only killed Virgil Sollozzo and Captain McCluskey in 1947, but also planned the mass slaughter of the other New York Dons as early as 1950. However, he claims that he never received orders directly from Michael.
Willi Cicci was originally intended to be one of the major characters in The Godfather Part III, but was written out and replaced by the character of Joey Zasa, following Spinell's sudden death in early 1989 before any filming was to begin.

Luca Brasi is a fictional character in Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather, as well as its 1972 film adaptation. In the film, he was portrayed by Lenny Montana,[1] ex-wrestler and ex-bodyguard for the Colombo Crime Family.
Biography[edit]
In The Godfather, Luca Brasi was a feared personal enforcer for Vito Corleone, known as one of the most dangerous men in the eastern underworld. Fluent in Italian and able to handle himself in any fight, he had a dark reputation among the underworld as a savage killer.
Brasi's talent, it was said, was that he could do a job, or murder all by himself, without confederates or backup who might rat him out. Since Luca made sure to leave no witnesses either, this made a criminal conviction almost impossible. He is also known for killing, in two weeks, six men who attempted to kill Don Corleone. One of their men had managed to put the Don in the hospital, which prompted Luca's killing spree, and he might have continued had Vito not recovered enough to call him off. These six deaths ended the famous "Olive Oil War." His almost fanatical loyalty to Don Corleone was unquestioned, and he was said to have killed a Corleone soldier just for making the Corleone family look bad. Brasi often claimed that he'd sooner kill himself than betray the Godfather.
Another early incident involved Brasi killing off two of Al Capone's henchmen hired to kill Don Corleone. Brasi subdued both of them and tied and gagged them with towels stuffed in their mouths. He then hacked one of them to pieces with an axe. When he went to finish off the other one, he found that the man had gone through a shock convulsion and choked to death on the towel.[2]
Later in the novel, Michael Corleone learns that, years earlier, Brasi had impregnated a young Irish prostitute and later murdered her. On the day of his daughter's birth, he forced the midwife, under pain of death, to hurl the child into a furnace, an act for which she never forgave herself. The midwife, who describes Brasi as an unholy demon, went to Vito Corleone for protection, and he covered up Brasi's crime. With this, the Don earned Brasi's undying service and loyalty.
At Connie's wedding, Michael explains to his then girlfriend Kay Adams the story of how Don Corleone helped his godson Johnny Fontane. Michael explains that his father went to convince bandleader Les Halley to release Johnny from a personal service contract that was holding back Johnny's singing career. After refusing an offer of $10,000 Don Corleone returned the next day with Luca Brasi and within an hour the bandleader signed a release for a second offer of only $1,000.[3] Don Corleone did this by having Luca hold a pistol to the forehead of the bandleader and assuring him with the utmost seriousness that either his signature or his brains would rest on the document.
Brasi did not expect to be invited to the wedding of the Don's daughter Connie, since he normally avoided public contact with the Don to protect the Godfather's reputation. Luca was very surprised and grateful when he received an invitation, and spent a great deal of time deciding on how best to pay his respects to his mafia benefactor. He gave a large sum for Connie's bridal purse directly to Vito, which was said to be the largest given by any of the guests.
Brasi is summoned by the Don, who intends to draw out rival mobster Virgil Sollozzo by having Brasi pretend he has switched allegiances. Brasi hangs around Bruno Tattaglia's nightclub, eventually going to bed with one of his waitresses and complaining about not making much money, knowing that word would eventually get back to Bruno. When Bruno offers a meeting, Luca drives there, wearing a bulletproof vest.
Luca proudly voices his loyalty to Sollozzo whilst discussing a deal with him. Sollozzo, after promising friendship, a job, and $50,000, rams a knife into Luca's hand, pinning it to the bar as an assassin garrottes him from behind. With Brasi dead, Sollozzo's men are free to attempt a hit on Don Corleone without fear of Brasi hunting them down later. After Vito is shot, his son Sonny tries to contact Brasi to no avail. A Sicilian message is later sent to the Corleone family: a fish wrapped in Brasi's bulletproof vest. The meaning is made clear to the Corleones: "Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes."
Brasi's role as personal enforcer/bodyguard to the Don is later filled by Al Neri. Following the completion of Neri's training, Tom Hagen tells Michael, "Well, now you've got your Luca."
In other media[edit]
It is also briefly mentioned in Mark Winegardner's 2004 sequel The Godfather Returns that Luca Brasi himself killed Jack Woltz's prized racehorse Khartoum and delivered its head into his bedroom.
Luca Brasi plays one major role in the prequel novel The Family Corleone by Ed Falco. At this time in the Great Depression, Luca Brasi is the leader of a small but feared gang, which makes deals with Vito´s oldest son Sonny Corleone. The younger Brasi is described as a psychopath, who kills his own newborn child by throwing it into the burning oven, let his Irish-American girlfriend Kelly die and abuses drugs. Brasi also wants to kill Tom Hagen, because he had an affair with Kelly. Partly because of severe headaches, Brasi overdoses on drugs, leading to a mental breakdown and stroke-like behavior. Although Vito dislikes and fears Brasi, he invites him into his family because he believes such a man is feared by everyone. Brasi's hygiene degenerates, though others say nothing as they fear the trouble is not worth it.
Luca Brasi appears early on in The Godfather: The Game. Vito tells Brasi to rescue the protagonist, Aldo Trapani, from a brutal gang and train him. Brasi functions as a "trainer" for the player, showing how to perform various game functions, such as shooting and punching. The player is a witness to Brasi's eventual death and must escape in order to inform the family.
Luca is also mentioned by Michael Corleone in the video game version of The Godfather Part II, where the player, Dominic Corleone, acquires Brasi's old apartment.
Luca inspired Baton Rogue's rapper Kevin Gates to create his 2013 mixtape, "The Luca Brasi Story".

Genco Abbandando is a fictional character in Mario Puzo's novel The Godfather. He is the first consigliere of the Corleone family, and childhood friend to Vito Corleone. He was portrayed by Frank Sivero in The Godfather Part II[1] and by Franco Corsaro in The Godfather film series.
In the novel[edit]
Raised in Hell's Kitchen, Genco worked at his father's grocery store from an early age. He became firm friends with the hired hand, Vito Corleone, and was upset when Vito was moved out by the neighborhood boss, Don Fanucci, even offering to steal from his father to help his friend. Vito refused, saying this would be an offense to his father.
After Vito kills Fanucci and becomes the new Don of the neighborhood, he hires Genco to act as his consigliere, and named his front company 'Genco Pura' after his friend. Genco serves him loyally, showing incredible insight, especially when Vito's son Santino asks to join the family business. Genco has his friend's hotheaded son closely assigned to his father as a bodyguard so he could learn the family business, as well as be kept under Vito's control.
Genco serves as Vito's most trusted adviser for decades, until he is stricken with cancer and can no longer fulfill his duties. During this time, Tom Hagen, Vito's unofficially adopted son, stands in for him. Genco dies with the Don at his side in 1945, the same day that Connie Corleone marries Carlo Rizzi. Vito, his sons and his godson Johnny Fontane all visit Genco to pay their respects.
Real life sources[edit]
Genco is believed to be based on John Tartamella[according to whom?], who was consigliere to Joseph Bonanno.
